How does nestjs get the cookie in the request?

Question

How does nestjs get the cookie in the request?

import { Get, Controller, Response, Request } from '@nestjs/common';
import { AppService } from './app.service';

const l = console.log
@Controller()
export class AppController {
  @Get('json')
  json(@Request() req){
    console.log(req.cookies) // undefined
  }
}

Answer 1

You have to install cookie-parser middleware.

$ npm install --save cookie-parser

once the installation process is completed, simply bind middleware to your application:

const app = await NestFactory.create(ApplicationModule);
app.use(cookieParser());

Answer 2

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
import * as cookieParser from 'cookie-parser'

async function bootstrap() {
  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
  app.use(cookieParser());
  await app.listen(5000);
}
bootstrap();

For everyone, who is looking at this question in 2022.
You can find it in the docs: https://docs.nestjs.com/techniques/cookies

The other answers don't work, if you use Typescript.
You need to run (according to docs):

$ npm i cookie-parser
$ npm i -D @types/cookie-parser
